14 DAY TRIAL // Bungie's upcoming online first person shooter Destiny is set to run at 1080p resolution and at 30 frames per second on both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One, being one of the few AAA games that won't target 60fps on the next-gen consoles.
Jason Sussman, senior environment artist at Bungie, attempted to provide an explanation for Bungie's decision to not attempt to go over 30 frames per second, not even on the much more powerful PS4 and Xbox One.
"It's a lot of different things. I could get really technical, but I'd bore you to death. A lot has to do with performance. We're cross-platform, so we had to be very delicate with all four consoles, making sure they have the same experience, that it looks as good as it possibly can on all these consoles.
"A lot goes into that, from geometry to textures to post effects to particles to how many players you get on the screen. We're always balancing that out to make sure everyone gets the same experience," he clarified in an interview with VentureBeat.
Destiny is scheduled to come out on September 9 for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One platforms, with the game's beta taking off in July.
